I know it's a friendly but oh dear we are very poor.

It's only the second warm up game with multiple substitutions.

3 weeks until the real stuff starts, frightening that we will probably need 5 decent signings in to just stand still when you take into account the likely leavers. The arrogance of our board beggars belief.
This rebuild should have started months ago. I said tongue in cheek weeks ago that we will be scratching around looking for loans at the beginning of August, unbelievably I fear this will come true.

5 decent signings or kt, Johnstone, trusty, Maeda, Yang, tonetki, nygren, they arguably all start ……. Maeda won’t be back imo, we definitely need players but let’s do a rerun of the panic we’ve seen and hysteria after a friendly defeat,
No World Cup all those players are rested and playing and firing all cylinders,

Did you watch the game Jaa?, yes its a friendly and doesn't matter but without exaggeration that should have been 8 or 9. 4-1 hugely flattered us.

I think Lisbon were missing a lot of players from World Cup.
Friendly or not, that was a shambles and a sign of things to come if we don’t sign a higher standard of player.

People keep saying it's only pre season and we were missing players or we made lots of subs etc but it's the same for the opposition is it not. A weakened sporting team battered our weakened team, if something major does not happen in the next week or two we are in big trouble.

I turned off and back on then back off, I wouldn’t really chose to watch our reserves play friendly matches and wouldn’t in anyway look anything into the result, if the point is we need players that’s true, but we can’t ignore the 6 starters not there, the exercise quickly becomes just an exercise in my view, apart from seeing a new player or a young player for first time,
